Courage and patience

Im Top Pick

this picture is from a colouring book I recently purchased for all the affirmations.
It was coloured with polychromos pencils and the background was coloured with pastels and pastel pencils
I found it a soothing page to colour and I believe that affirmations like this allow individuals to empathise with others as required it will probably end up on a card.

This delightful little fairy was coloured with prismacolour pencils a bit of a change from my usual polychromos.
1. The background (difficult to see in the photo) was stenciled with old makeup
2. The card was then cut out using an oval from the CM cutting system
3. The frame and the offset mauve oval were also cut in the same way
4.  The rose was handcut from a piece of printed cardstock and outlined with a sharpie ultrafine pink pen
5. All the lovely little flowers were handcut from a scrap piece of mauve floral paper
6. The little sentiment was stamped onto a piece of scrap cardstock trimmed and outlined
This was all adhered to the card blank and finished of with liquid pearls
